Occupational safety saves money. The cost of replacing an employee for just one day can be as much as CHF 1200 or even more in some cases. Personal safety equipment helps to avoid accidents, or if an accident cannot be prevented then it can at least minimise the extent of any injuries suffered. Whether you are looking for something specific in a particular area relating to personal safety equipment or you could use some help putting together a complete personal safety equipment concept – we can help with competent and expert opinions.
Primarily, hazards and risks should be prevented through technical and organisational measures. Where this is not possible to a satisfactory degree, workers need to be protected with suitable equipment. Switzerland has now adopted EU requirements in relation to the safety of this type of equipment. We only supply products which meet the relevant EU standards.
Finding a well-informed and objective source of advice is a key element in the procurement of occupational safety products. A personal conversation, whether over the phone or on-site, always helps. Technical discussions will enable us to offer you the protective equipment which is best suited to the conditions of your workplace – and, please remember, less is often more. A well structured concept for personal safety equipment also makes it easier to maintain your company’s internal EKAS compliant documentation.
